How much do we know about the brain? How much remains a mystery? We celebrated Brain Awareness Week with a special event hosted jointly by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Harvard Brain Science Initiative. The evening began with short talks by bestselling author and cartoonist Jorge Cham and neuroscientist Dwayne Godwin, coauthors of Out of Your Mind: The Biggest Mysteries of the Human Brain (2025, Pantheon).

Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Harvard Brain Science Initiative.
